Some Serious Money Dumped into this Car
Best I can figure, about a $90K premium 
over a bone stock car with similar mileage. What do ya'll think...worth the mark-up to you?

I don't think you can build another CLK63BS like that for that price. Flip side is its a fairly custom car so depending what your plans are for the car (garage/show or daily driver, track only) the value/price is very subjective. The car is built for the track but that would be my interest/purpose for the car. Its also posted in ebay and couple of other spots. Its an amazing build of a CLK63BS!

MBWorld Fanatic!
Car was built by Fluid Motor Union in Plainfield, IL whose shop is about 5 minutes from my house. I saw the car during various stages of the build. Fluid Motor Union is a top notch shop with a great welder and fabrication department. They have done some light work on some of my vehicles. No expenses were spared on this build and it was purpose built for Redline Time Attack racing. You might be able to reproduce this car for slightly less than the $145K, but not much less and the build would take you months. You could probably grab this car for $135K and be enjoying it next week vs spending $125K to reproduce it but not be able to enjoy it for another 6+ months. IMO it is priced perfectly. I can personally vouch for the quality of work since I have seen the car in person in various stages of the build and upon completion.
